Ready to step back in time and explore a medieval masterpiece?
Join us for an unforgettable day trip to Carcassonne, one of the most iconic fortified cities in France!
We’ll take you through the incredible cité médiévale, with its stunning walls, towers, and cobbled streets that will transport you straight to the past. From historical landmarks to charming little shops, there’s so much to discover in this UNESCO World Heritage site.
At AEGEE Toulouse, our trips are designed a bit differently. We invite you to take an active role in shaping your own experience, building your days around what you enjoy most, while also developing your planning skills.
We’ll share tips on the must-see attractions and suggest a social program you’re free to join (or not). Please note that any activities or visits are at your own expense. One or more AEGEE volunteers will be there to support the group and help things run smoothly.
To confirm your registration and get access to the WhatsApp group and travel guide, you'll need to purchase your train ticket and upload it through the registration form. All listed costs are estimates based on prices at the time of planning, they may vary depending on external factors.
